Candy Crush Saga Level 3418 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3418 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie

You need a fair amount of luck as well as very careful planning to complete level 3418 Candy Crush Saga. There is a lot of jelly to clear but this isn't the biggest problem. The big problem is getting past the bombs. The bombs have a 12 move countdown and are all locked in Marmalade to begin with so they have to be unlocked and cleared within the first 12 moves. To make matters even harder the bombs are trapped inside candy cane fences so they can't be matched, they have to be hit with combos.

This level can only be passed using colourbomb combos, from the start you need to be looking for chances to make colourbombs and when you get one don't be tempted to switch it too early, try to get a stripe or a wrap beside it if you can. A second colourbomb is also good, but to begin with this will only unlock the bombs that are in the marmalade, it won't clear them so it is better to use a stripe or wrap with a colourbomb to begin with. Once the bombs are free of the marmalade you can use a double colourbomb combo to clear the bombs.

Clearing the first lot of bombs is not the end of them, more will drop so you will have to keep an eye on them as the bombs are more likely to kill your game than running out of moves.

Keep making colourbombs and you should be able to clear the jelly. The video below was completed in 23 moves so if the moves are reduced in the future it should still be helpful.

If the
level you play is different from the one here it is because the developers have
changed it since I played and I have no control over this. Please let me know
in the comments and I will try to change it.

Been working on this one for days... using color bombs combos... without coming close to any kind of success. Time bombs keep coming down and make it impossible to reach any corners. Simply impossible until made doable. Really not enough moves to clear all those obstacles.IMPOSSIBLE...

Wondering about the few comments. Find this level the first hard challenge in this episode and experienced the same like Jannie. Never came close enough even to clear the corners before at least one bomb went off. Will surely stay here a little bit longer....

I took Cookie’s advice and started with CB/stripe combo. I had tried double CB to start and got nowhere. Also added fish and stripe boosters and had full SD. I finally won but used 3 hand switches and 3 hammers. I agree with Emsa8 that this is first big challenge in this episode.

I wrote the following on another blog a week ago. That was when I emptied my gold bar supply to finish this difficult level: "I finally got the level using the cb's and stripes. However I used all five hammers and 2 switches plus 10 gold bars for extra turns.will now play for sugar drops to replenish my supply. :-\﻿"

Followed Bear with me and Elektra's advice and as they said it took some swaps and hammers. I needed to use 10 gold bars from my stash to get extra moves. After reading the comments, I just wanted to move on.

Maybe they made it easier? Just got through it first try 13 moves left and I don't normally sail through easily. Had full space dash with 2 CB together but I used one on a color first and another with a stripe. Lots of CB formed for me and stripes in the right places. Wishing you all a lucky board also!Barb

I don't have space dash and in about 30 tries, the best I've done is 32 jellies left. This level is set up for failure from the get go. Bombs in marmalade, chocolate in marmalade, candy cane fences and the fact that it's almost impossible to make stripes along the edges or the top to get the bombs there. Come on King, stop making these stupid levels in an effort to make people buy boosters. All you're doing is alienating your players. I'm so frustrated right now, I don't even want to play anymore because I know there's no point.

It's possible to clear this stupid level if you have a golden space dash, a fish booster and a lucky board. After many attempts I finally made it with 18 moves left. Hated this level, far beyond the most stupid one. Bombs/chocolates covered in marmelades and keep dropping??? Candy fences and jellies??? No special candies to help out??? Still not classified as a "hard level" ???King must be making fun of us...

The problem here is not the number of moves, there are plenty of those. The problem is the candy cane blocker lines fences, or whatever they are called, and the time bombs. Have tried several time many with space dash and many without it. I like a good challenge but this is reduicula and next to impossible with the fences and the time bombs. If king would remove either one of those features this would be a passable level. The only option is to just keep hoping for enough boosters and a lucky board

I have done it. Don’t have a space helmet or anything like that. I had to buy 5 extra moves to stop the bombs going off. It was a gamble but it was looking hopeful so I risked it. I then had a space ship which helped the corner clearing but after that it was luck , sprinkle candies and exploding wraps. Hooray!

This level doesnt see passable unless they change something. With a countdown of 12 moves you need to clear at least two lots of bombs. Fish aren't any help as they don't target the bombs. Also got two free hours play and still couldnt get anywhere near. Very difficult to get to the jelly undernear the chocolate. Getting very fed up!

I used to be addicted to CC, but no more. The fact that you have to scroll back to play old easy levels just to gain boosters (which have no effect on a ridiculously hard and impossible level such as this), tells me it’s time to give up.

I am now playing less and less because the fun has left this game. I feel sorry for those who buy boosters only to loose their chance of getting through when King produce these impossible levels. Don’t buy them please....you’re just giving into King by making them produce even more silly impossible and boring levels.

Another seemingly impossible level! Been on for days and absolutely not even getting close to clearing bombs much less win the level! When I am lucky enough to get a color bomb it gets blacked out immediately! Need lots of luck!
